Histopathologic examination showed severe meningitis with denatured,
incrassate meninges.

incrassate, dorsal side granulate, pecten with 1 large, sharp spine with 6 gradually smaller, blunt denticles following; 3 small spines before pecten (Fig.
Apertural lip expanded and flaring, not strongly
incrassate.
They are sit-and-wait predators that catch bypassing prey with their strongly
incrassate, raptorial forelegs.
Antenna cylindrical, covered by short, simple setae, all segments narrow at base and gradually
incrassate toward apex.
Head: wider than long, the anterior process short with small clypeus; gena reduced, not exceeding apex of clypeus; antenniferous tubercles blunt; eyes large, semiglobose; postocular margins broadly rounded without tubercles or spine, not exceeding outer margins of eyes, converging on constricted neck; antenna long and stout, first and fourth segments subequal in length, second shortest, third longest, first
incrassate, second, third and fourth clavate, fourth with pilose apex (Fig.
7 1900 4460 (C) lucerne (D) and annual medics (E)) (A) Setaria
incrassate.
In specimen CNU-ORT-NN2006081, compound eyes oval, 4 mm wide, hind femur 32 mm long (in preserved part) and
incrassate basally, hind tibiae with 11 spines, hind tarsus truely four segmented, first segment long and with two euplantulae; mid femur with two rows of spinules, mid and fore tibiae stout and with a row of rather strong spines, four spines preserved; fore tarsi poorly preserved; ovipositor slightly curved, long and stout, 26 mm long in preserved part (estimated length about 30 mm), 27 mm long in specimen CNUORT-NN2008027, 24 mm long in specimen CNU-ORT-NN2009054, it is
incrassate basally.
abudi: the chela manus of the adult male is
incrassate and the fingers strongly curved proximally (fixed finger curved dorsally, movable finger curved ventrally), such that only the distal portion of the fingers connect and a distinctive gap is present between them proximally, when closed (Fig.
Stem leaves straight, concave, ovate, elongate-ovate or lingulate; [+ or -] erect and imbricate, sometimes spreading; margin plane, slightly recurved at base, entire; apex rounded or obtuse, cucullate; costa long and single (up to 80% of length leaf); median lamina cells linear, slightly
incrassate, porose; marginal cells similar or narrower than adjacent median lamina cells; alar cells rectangular, shortly rectangular or quadrate, hyaline, [+ or -] inflated, [+ or -] thick-walled, forming a well delimited ovate or rectangular group along basal leaf margin, decurrent; initial cells of rhizoids abundant near apex or beside nerve in upper part of leaves, rhomboidal and hyaline.
Dampened by
incrassate frost until the arrival of dawn.
It belongs to the Siphonella genus group (Kanmiya 1983), with the following characters: head much wider than long; face concave, with a linear median carina; gena narrow; frons speckled, thickly clothed with short setulae, and sparsely microtomentose universally or in reticular-form; scutum as long as wide, convex, minutely or weakly shagreened, glossy or entirely microtomentose in both sexes; male surstylus highly specialized,
incrassate and semi-globose, larger than epandrium in lateral view; gonites not well demarcated; hypandrium closed (Sabrosky 1980; Kanmiya 1983; Merz 2008).
